It may be possible to remove a complete adjustable steering column from a donor car and transplant it to yours; the steering wheel position is stored in the seat position memory, BTW. If you don't have a driver's seat memory some wiring changes would be necessary.

Jeremy,
My '90 OM602.962 has no-memory seat (which is OK with me). All I'd really like would be the steering wheel adjust, more in-and-out than up-and-down. Memory doesn't matter. Headlights don't matter. Heated seats, leather, orthodontist
doesn't matter.
But my body proportions, short legs - long trunk doesn't fit the existing envelope as well as I'd like.
Do you think it's practical and feasible to do this or am I just dreamin'?
